Kris is a tortured artist

Toriel hearing Kris play an instrumental composition on the piano!

Toriel being awestruck at how talented he is!

Toriel encouraging Kris to write lyrics for his new song, because he has such a nice voice!

Kris innocently asking Toriel what to write about!

Toriel telling Kris to write about how he feels!

Toriel promising Kris that his lyrics will be beautiful as long as he writes from the heart!

A few days passing!

Toriel inviting over a few friends for a nice dinner party!

After dinner, Toriel politely asking Kris to play his new song for her and her friends!

Kris being very nervous and responding that he's not sure they'd like it!

Toriel reassuring Kris that he has a lot of talent, and that everyone would like to hear what he wrote!

Toriel and her friends sitting and watching intently as Kris begins to play!

All of the monsters being wowed by Kris's graceful yet intense playing style!

Kris opening his mouth and starting to sing from his heart!

Kris's heart is a very dark place!

The watching monsters' smiles slowly fading as Kris unveils his extremely dark, bleak and dismal lyrics!

Toriel staring worriedly at her adopted son as Kris sings about slowly dying in a field of bloodied thorns!

Kris closing his eyes tightly and visibly tensing as the song builds in both intensity and hopelessness!

Kris finishing his song with a grand climax involving him screaming "ALONE" at the top of his lungs!

Kris then quietly closing the piano and turning to Toriel and her horrified friends!

A long period of awkward silence following!

Toriel finally stuttering "t-that was l-lovely, Kris, b-but maybe you should, um, stick to i-instrumentals for n-now."
